Welcome!

Thank you for visiting our class webpage! I am looking forward to the upcoming 2011-2012 year, and seeing the academic, social and spiritual development of the students. We started the academic year in August, and the class is in full swing with kinder academia and classroom procedure. For regular weekly information, the classroom parents should read and sign the classroom newsletter and look at their work packet to stay updated on what their child is learning. For school announcements, the parents should also read the school newsletter that comes home on Tuesday in the weekly yellow envelopes. Currently the class is practicing on how to form their letters correctly and using finger spacing They are enjoying regular use of our individual whiteboards and the SMARTboard technology. Please check the website for seasonal updates!

Welcome to Kindergarten and a new school year!

My name is Ms. Willson and I am looking forward to getting to know the class and all of the parents. It is such a blessing to work with the families and be your child's first teacher at St. Anne school. This is a special year with a lot of growth, and students will not only learn reading and writing skills, but learn to enjoy school, gain social skills, and a sense of self confidence as a student.

On Tuesday the 7th, a first day letter will go home in the "go-home folder" which explains the class policies. Class discipline and positive reinforcement includes table points, a warm fuzzy jar for the whole class, and card chart. During the first week of school, the class will focus on getting to know the classroom and school rules, do fun activities with "The Kissing hand", learn the routines, and ease into the curriculum. Chester the stuffed raccoon will go home for the first time on Tuesday the 14th after the rules agreement is signed.

Back to school night will be next week, where I can inform of the school year, class policies, highlights of the year, and what is expected of the student.

Blessings,
Ms. Willson

Taking Home Chester

2009-10-13T23:44:00.000-07:00

As we know, Chester is the raccoon from the famous back-to-school story, The Kissing Hand. we read this story the first day of school, which was a heartwarming story about how a mother showed Chester a "trick" to ease first day jitters. Students who have been kind, helpful , and caught being good, get to take Chester home for the day and share him with the family.

2009-10-10T01:10:00.000-07:00

October has been a busy and fun month for the kinders. They have had a wonderful time learning about science, and what living things need to live. The class is growing sunflowers and will later raise butterflies in the "canopy".

The class also estimated how many seeds would be in this pumpkin. The winning estimate was 101 seeds. The actual number is 277! We then used the seeds to compare groups.
